Yeah, I read the recent thread, but I can't get the dang rear seat bottom cushion to come up! I find two "handholds," one by each door near the side of the footwell. Supposedly a few pounds of pressure will pop this thing up? I've given both sides a good yank and it hasn't budged a bit. I'm scared to pull much harder, for fear of breaking something.

Does anyone have a photo of what the rear of the cabin looks like with the seat out? For a temporary purpose, I was curious if a cut sheet of plywood or flat surface could be created back there, to increase storage room while there is no need for the seating.

Also, we have had a LOT of rain here in Texas the last few days, and my car smells like death. I may post another thread -- I don't feel anything wet, but something must be mildewing or rotting. Yuck!

Thanks for any tips on getting this thing loose.

Cheers, John
